This red Ferrari F8 Tributo with a tan and black interior is a Prometheus Exotics rental based in Orange County, the softer and more personal of our two red F8 Tributo coupes, tan leather being what an owner specifies and nobody hires. Book this one when the brief is simply a Ferrari that feels lived in, not the tighter black and red car.
Most of what makes the F8 quick is invisible. A duct in the nose pulls air through the bonnet to add downforce at the front, and a spoiler at the back routes air through the bodywork instead of sitting in the airflow like a wing would. The result is real downforce without the drag penalty a visible wing brings. Underneath that, 710 horsepower from a twin turbo V8 with almost no lag, rear wheel drive, and sixty in 2.9 seconds. Take it out toward Ortega Highway once the morning traffic clears and the aerodynamics you cannot see start to matter, holding the car flat through corners you expected it to lean into.
Red with a tan and black interior is the combination that reads as a personal car rather than a rental, because tan is what owners specify and almost nobody else does. The exterior is classic Ferrari and needs no explanation outside Fashion Island or South Coast Plaza. The cabin is where this car differs from our other F8 Tributo, and the warm leather against red bodywork gives you something noticeably softer than the black and red car. Shoot the doors open with the interior lit. The nose duct and the rear spoiler are the details worth a close frame.
Tan is what owners specify and almost nobody hires, which is why this is the F8 that does not read as a rental. Our other F8 Tributo is the same red with a black and red cabin, tighter and more aggressive. This one is warmer and more personal the moment a door opens. Same rate, same car underneath, both based here in Orange County. Pick this one when you want the interior to look like a grand tourer rather than a racing seat, and pick the black and red car when the opposite is true.
This is the F8 Tributo coupe in red over a tan and black interior, the softer and more personal of the two colour combinations we run on this car. Underneath, the same 3.9 liter twin turbo V8 making 710 horsepower and 568 lb ft, rear wheel drive through a 7 speed dual clutch gearbox. It carries the front duct and rear spoiler that generate downforce without a visible wing, the S Duct and quad tail lights common to every Tributo, and standard carbon ceramic brakes with magnetorheological dampers and a bumpy road setting. This is the fixed roof coupe, not the Spider we also keep.
